Private Cervical Screening
Expert Cervical Screening in London from Experienced Consultant Gynaecologists
Cervical screening is one of the most important tests for protecting your long-term gynaecological health. By detecting high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and identifying abnormal cervical cell changes before they develop into cervical cancer, regular screening plays a vital role in prevention, early detection, and timely treatment where required.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide private cervical screening in a professional, supportive, and discreet environment. We understand that many women feel anxious about cervical screening or may have delayed attending because of previous experiences or concerns about the procedure. Our aim is to make your appointment as comfortable and reassuring as possible while providing expert care, clear explanations, and prompt results.
Whether you are attending for routine cervical screening, have missed a previous test, require screening outside the NHS programme, or would simply like reassurance about your cervical health, our specialists provide prompt access to expert care. We are committed to helping you protect your long-term health through early detection, accurate assessment, and appropriate follow-up where needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is cervical screening the same as a smear test?
Yes. The term "smear test" is still widely used, although modern cervical screening now primarily tests for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). If high-risk HPV is detected, the same sample is then examined for abnormal cervical cell changes.
Can I have cervical screening if I have no symptoms?
Yes. Cervical screening is recommended even if you feel completely well because early HPV infection and cervical cell changes rarely cause symptoms. Regular screening is one of the most effective ways to help prevent cervical cancer.
What happens if high-risk HPV is found?
Most women with high-risk HPV do not have cervical cancer. Depending on your results, your consultant may recommend repeat cervical screening, colposcopy, or further assessment. Your results will be explained clearly, and any recommended next steps will be discussed with you.
Does an abnormal cervical screening result mean I have cervical cancer?
No. Most abnormal cervical screening results do not mean you have cervical cancer. They usually indicate the presence of high-risk HPV or abnormal cervical cell changes that may require monitoring or further investigation.
Can I request private cervical screening before my NHS appointment?
Yes. Many women choose private cervical screening if they have missed a routine appointment, would like earlier screening, have concerns about HPV, or prefer the reassurance and convenience of seeing an experienced consultant gynaecologist.
Can I have cervical screening during pregnancy?
Routine cervical screening can often be delayed until after pregnancy unless your consultant advises otherwise based on your individual circumstances. If you have symptoms or abnormal bleeding, further assessment may still be recommended.
Will I need a colposcopy if my results are abnormal?
Not always. Whether a colposcopy is recommended depends on your cervical screening results, including whether high-risk HPV is present and whether abnormal cervical cell changes have been identified. Your consultant will explain the most appropriate next steps for your individual circumstances.
How often should I have cervical screening?
The recommended screening interval depends on your age, previous cervical screening results, and current national screening guidance. Your consultant can advise when your next cervical screening should be performed.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. Many women choose to self-refer for private cervical screening. Referrals from GPs and other healthcare professionals are also welcome.
When will I receive my results?
Your consultant will explain when to expect your results and will discuss the findings with you as soon as they are available. If any further assessment or treatment is recommended, we will guide you through the next steps and ensure you receive appropriate follow-up.
